SUMMARY:Unveiled podcast launch
DESCRIPTION:Unveiled – a new podcast series exploring what it means to discern – is being launched by the Arise Movement with an in-person event for women of all ages to be held 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sunday\, Jan. 26 at Saint Anne Catholic Church\, 217 Lenore Drive\, Saskatoon.

Can be enjoyed on one’s own\, but FAR more enjoyable as a group.

Kevin McGee will be held at 5 p.m. on First Friday\, Feb. 7 at Saint Mary Catholic Church\, 211 Avenue O South\, Saskatoon.  \n\n\n\nThe rhythm of the Contemplative Mass is a gentle\, steady flow\, marked by 20 minutes of silence after Communion.

SUMMARY:World Day of the Sick
DESCRIPTION:CCCB Resources for World Day of the Sick Feb. 11: \n\n\n\nMedia Release from Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) \n\n\n\nEarlier this year\, the Vatican published Pope Francis’ message for the 33rd World Day of the Sick\, which is celebrated each year on Feb. 11. \n\n\n\nIn his message\, Pope Francis offers a reflection on the theme\, “‘Hope does not disappoint’ (Rm 5:5) but strengthens us in times of trial\,” emphasizing the profound role the Christian tradition accords to the theological virtue of hope in moments of illness and suffering. \n\n\n\nPope Francis reminds the faithful that physical illness can have emotional and spiritual effects. The Holy Father calls for our renewed commitment to caring for the sick with love\, compassion\, and faith\, recognizing that hope is a gift that sustains both those who suffer and those who accompany them. \n\n\n\nJesus earnestly calls us to visit and care for the sick (Matthew 25: 35)\, teaching us by example through His solicitude for the sick and His miracles to free men and women from sickness. \n\n\n\nInspired by our Lord\, the Church desires the faithful to contribute to building a culture of care wherever we live—one that responds to the dignity of each person from conception to natural death\, and that offers spiritual support in times of trial. \n\n\n\nEstablished by Pope Saint John Paul II in 1992\, the World Day of the Sick is observed annually on the liturgical Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes\, a significant day of devotion to the Blessed Mother\, who is a powerful intercessor for the sick. \n\n\n\nIn a particular way on this day\, the faithful are invited to reflect more deeply on the Church’s teachings about sickness and caring for the sick\, as well as to express solidarity with the sick through works of charity and special prayers\, including the option of attending Mass\, and by encouraging and expressing appreciation toward caregivers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCCCB resources for World Day of the Sick 2025 are available at LINK   and include; \n\n\n\n\nPastoral Suggestions for Families and Parishes – PDF\n\n\n\nWDS 2025 Prayer Card – PDF\n\n\n\n\n-30-
